Do you think Epstein was the only one getting young women

for rich assholes?
Are all these too wealthy reprobates now just sitting alone?
I would guess there are other "Epsteins" out there.

2. Someone else has certainly picked up where Epstein so inconveniently left off.

And that's probably why they won't release the FBI files or Epstein's financial records.

8. Pedo rings, illegal porn sharing groups of males who think they are outside the normal rules and laws of society?

They are a global problem, and international policing is on their tails.

If you look at how easily young groups of males sometimes behave with them giving each other permission and courage to do nasty things, you get the picture.

Epstein would be one of many, and look how long it took for things to catch up to him.

How many "Epsteins" are out there? Too many. And they are not just destroying young girls and women. It's also happening to boys and young men.

Some of the scandals that have come to light concerning boys and men:

The Franklin scandal out of Omaha, Nebraska (There are forces that have trying to cover this one up saying it is all a lie. I've looked into this, IMHO there are too many victims for this to be a nothing burger)

John Wayne Gacy

The Dean Corll mass murders out of Houston

The North Fox Island (In Lake Michigan, another private island) scandal

The Penn State scandal

The Ohio State scandal

I'm sure there's more but what I've listed is too many. The lives of our young women and young men are being damaged and/or destroyed. When are we going to give them the chance to grow up in a relatively normal environment?

10. Likely there are. But, the Epstein operation was huge.

Maybe the biggest honeypot, espionage operation ever. I'm reading more and more on Substack. This isn't going away, if anything, it's going to ensnare more and more people.

14. There are interviews with women

on YouTube who were abducted to serve rich men. This is an international problem, quasi armies in unstable countries, especially in Eastern Europe kidnap women off the street and threaten to kill their families if they don't do as they are told. They are trained in places like Belgium to serve wealthy men. These women are students, women with jobs, and likely from stable families. This has gone on for a long time.

The quasi armies are the rag tag teams that still exist after war or revolution has taken place. They operate on their own but with no interference from actual police. They are paid for the women they bring in.

Take a look at ICE and that is the level of operators that could do the same thing here.
